AI will help with searching trademark images

As a recent move, WIPO has announced AI improvements in its software for searching trademark images.

According to the information, the new software will increase significantly the accuracy of the results.

The new technology results in a narrower and more precise group of potentially similar marks, facilitating greater certainty in strategic planning for brand expansion into new markets.

In order to be used you need to enter the Global Brand Database and to choose Concept Strategy from the Image Tab.

WIPO gives a concrete example for the abilities of the new AI software:
